    So, I have a folder "C:\Original" with a few dozens mp4 files.

    What I would like to do is :

    1) batch demux only their audio streams to "C:\Original\downres\", without changing the original name.

    So for example "C:\Original\somefile.mp4" yields "C:\Original\downres\somefile.aac"


    2) batch mux every pair of *.aac and corresponding *.264 files found in the folder "C:\Original\downres\"

    Example : "C:\Original\downres\randomxyz.aac" and "C:\Original\downres\randomxyz.264" are muxed to "C:\Original\downres\randomxyz.mp4"


    I hope that makes sense, I would prefer two separate bat files if that's possible.

    Batch audio extraction is easy with ffmpeg. Create a folder called "downres" in the same directory as your mp4 files, then simply dag the first mp4 into this bat file:
    Code:
    for %%a in ("*.mp4") do "path\to\ffmpeg" -i %%a -vn -c:a copy -y downres\%%~na.m4a
    pause
    
    # this script extracts audio track only
    Got my retirement plans all set. Looks like I only have to work another 5 years after I die........
